The Lech is a right tributary of the Danube. The 256 km long river originates in Vorarlberg in the Hochtannberg region at the confluence of the Spullerbach and Formarinbach streams in the Tannläger valley. It flows through Tyrol and southern Bavaria, where it empties into the Danube. Shortly before the Austrian-German border, it joins the Vils river, forms the artificial Lechfall near Füssen, and crosses Swabia and Upper Bavaria on its way. The largest cities on the Lech are Landsberg and Augsburg; in this city, it receives its largest tributary, the Wertach. The river empties into the Danube near Marxheim. Source: Wikipedia

The Fugger Castle Gablingen is a historic castle in the municipality of Gablingen in the district of Augsburg, Bavaria. It was acquired in the 16th century by the influential Fugger merchant family and served as the administrative seat of their rule in the region. The castle is picturesquely situated on a hill above the Schmutter River and is directly connected to the neighboring parish church of St. Martin. This connection symbolizes the close connection between secular and ecclesiastical power at that time. The castle building is characterized by its late Gothic architecture with a steep gable roof and bay windows. A striking staircase tower with an onion dome complements the ensemble. In 2020, the listed castle was restored and renovated according to original plans, taking into account both modern living standards and the historical building fabric. Today the castle is privately owned and is not open to the public. Nevertheless, it remains an important testimony to regional history and architectural development in Swabia.

In 1898, a further reconstruction of the riverbed began near Gersthofen with the initially three-kilometer-long Lech canal for the construction of a power plant. The combination of a dam and a run-of-river power plant in the river that is common today was not yet technically manageable at the time. A large part of the river water was channeled into the first canal section at the Gersthofer Lech weir at the level of today's Augsburg garbage mountain, at the end of which the first large hydroelectric power plant on the Lech went into operation in 1901 with the Gersthofen power plant. Today, the 10 km-long canal branches off from the Lech at the Gersthofer weir and flows back into the river after the Gersthofen, Langweid and Meitingen hydroelectric power plants. These three hydroelectric power plants were added to the UNESCO World Heritage list on July 6, 2019. This would not have been possible without the Lech weir and the Lech canal.
